On rollers your resistance is nowhere near what you see on a flat stretch of road unless you a) have a resistance unit fitted to the rollers or b) take your tires down to about 45-50 psi. I noticed when I deflated the tires a bit, speeds were still high, but much more realistic for something like a flat straight for a given HR.
